    SEBTS Chapel - Leon Smith November 8, 1988
    La description:
    Leon Smith was the pastor of First Baptist Church in Goldsboro, NC and the President of the NC Baptist State Convention. Smith is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:12). A hymn is played (0:13-7:32). A word of prayer is followed by another hymn (cut) (7:33-8:40). Smith is introduced (8:41-10:43). He thanks SEBTS for allowing him to speak (10:44-11:46). He begins with reading the story of the Samaritan woman at the well from John 4 (11:47-16:03). Smith speaks of how uncommon things reveal new truths, such as the story of the woman at the well (16:04-17:26). First, he highlights the story’s unusual scene: a Jew traveling in Samaria, a woman drawing water at mid-day, and a Jewish man speaking to a Samaritan woman (17:27-19:27). Jesus made His uncommon encounter common for His ministry by not judging someone by their race or gender as He has called all to be saved and to serve Him (19:28-21:50). Second, Smith delves into the unexpected conversation that begins in the physical realm with Jesus asking for a drink of water and transitions onto a more spiritual level with Jesus offering the woman His water of life (21:51-25:02). Third, Smith recognizes the woman’s unfulfilled life as she had had five husbands; her brokenness represents today’s relationships (25:03-26:44). Last, he speaks of the story’s uncommon joy, focusing on the woman’s realization that Jesus was the Christ who had come to save all (26:45-28:46). This uncommon joy is a result of the redemption made possible by Jesus who accepts all, despite their sins (28:47-29:34). Smith ends his message with comparing Jesus to a bridge since He is the one who connects us to God through His sacrifice (29:35-31:51). A word of prayer closes the service (31:52-32:40).
